John Ravenscroft said:But I think I'd argue that there are problems with that definition. Or at least that 'good writer' can be defined in ways that don't depend simply on readership loyalty and numbers.

Of course, that opens up a whole new can of literary worms. One woman's merit is another man's arty-farty crap.
